Default Can this dent be pulled?

Long story short, I believe someone at my work has something against me because a few months ago someone hit my front bumper cracked/chipped the paint, yesterday I come out to see this softbball sized dent in my quarter panel.



Ive decided to put my car away for the winter early so I can start saving up for some paint/body work. My question is can this dent be pulled easily or will it have to be filled?

It can be pulled pretty easily. There might be a little body filler needed but not much.

Dont worry, any decent shop will be able to stud gun that out so you cant tell. Body line isnt hard to bring back either. Just do a bit of research and pick a quality shop. I have the same dent on the other side of my T/A...I will tackle it myself since thats my profession. Chuck

I agree with all the above. Pick a quality shop and the dent should not be that difficult for them. Good Luck!

I actually managed to get it out with out a shop. Well my girlfriend did. I tried to fit my arm through the sail panel speaker hole but my arm was to big, my girlfriend got hers in it and managed to push it out from inside. Cant even tell it was there, turns out shes good for something.

Thank god you didnt take that to a body shop, they would have absolutely raped you. A good PDR shop would have been able to do it without a problem... they would have probably done the same thing your girl did. GOOD DEAL!
